  1. Wife and I were planning to get away for 24 hours for Alamo Bowl/Riverwalk. Southwest just cancelled our Thurs flight LOL. It's going to take me a while to trust this shitty airline again after this. No desire to drive roundtrip so checked flights on AA and they are charging $2500 roundtrip from DFW to SAT. So hope the fucking DOT investigates AA for price gouging as well. Oh well - I haven't bought tix yet and hoping Chase Sapphire travel protection covers the non-refundable room (if they won't waive). I'll just watch from couch.
  2. This is the best roster building/management we've seen since the early Mack days. For all the bitching this board does about Sark during the season I hope the doubters can at least recognize he's definitely putting a foundation in place that will give him the opportunity to be successful.
  3. Actually getting some small snowflakes in Dallas. Nice little surprise.
  4. That was impressive coming through Dallas. Just finished walking the dog when it blew in. Crazy winds.
  5. My only concern with that strategy is you could somehow have frozen water inside the cover that could eventually impact the drip. Guessing you didn't deal with that at all last time?
  6. No desire to go Cloak and I fully recall gas was the main bust, but wasn't part of the problem that solar and wind were basically at zero due to cloud cover and ice/frozen turbines in '21? I would think we'll be getting significantly more out of renewables this time around as well.
  7. I'm not confident it's "fixed" but this is a completely different type of storm. If this causes a shutdown with no precipitation across the state then we are more fucked than we thought.
  8. Yeah, I'm not looking it up but I'm confident that potential single digits in Dallas, even for a short period of time, is really atypical.
  9. It seems like the grid should be ok given a short term event and not ice which if I recall correctly caused a lot of the grid problems. But yeah, I have PTSD from that and ended up only losing landscaping. That sucked. At least this will be shorter.
  10. I thought The Mexican was great. Don't get me wrong, you have to be in the mood for that vibe. It has a very Vegas feel to it. But we were kind of in a 'party' mood so worked out well. Everything we tried was solid. Lobster Elote was probably the best dish. Only downside was service was a bit uneven (they were pretty slammed) but not enough to dampen the experience.
  11. Pretty cool. I know his family well. Mom is in the hall of honor for UT softball and dad went to UT law. Pumped for them.
  12. I don't know how much of it has to do with the Beard situation or what the deal was. But I mean I got an email from Texas sports Friday highlighting the Women's game with a note to the effect that a ticket included men's game. I've never bought tix to a women's sporting event through Texas I don't think. It was auper odd. But yeah, no social media buzz, billboards, local advertising, etc.
  13. Took my son to the game today. Good time. Small crowd but those that were there were solid. Really odd how little marketing there was for this game here. Feel like not many locally even realized horns were in town.
  14. I dunno man. I surprised kids by heating up our pool last year and it was pretty kickass.
  15. NFT's appeared to be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever encountered since day 1. This cements it.
  16. Damn. Wasn't even on my radar there would be a bowl game 11AM on a Friday. I figured they started tomorrow and planned to join tonight. Oh well.
  17. This is a big one!!!! Love it
  18. I mean not only is it in a dome, from what I understand, precipitation is most difficult thing to predict far in advance. Trying to predict the chance of rain 15 days out seems worthless.
  19. Only JFKFC could take this thread and turn it into a fucking Sark thread. Because he can't limit that to the football board. He might as well start talking about Portal OL while he's at it.
  20. It's cute you think CDC has the final word on coaching hires at Texas in football and/or basketball. Post less.
  21. Who has hit up The Mexican? Have reservations this weekend.
  22. This is where I'm at. Considering her side of this story is that he was pissed at her and ignoring her and went to the guest room after work and she confronted him and broke his glasses, my initial thought is why in the world is a 49 year old with a $5MM salary dealing with this kind of drama in his life. Then how do you allow yourself to be baited with that much at stake. What a fucking idiot. Also, it's not going to shock me at all if we find out that "there were relationship issues" and "he had been ignoring her" really meant he was ending it.
  23. It will actually be an interesting day. Either his lawyer comes out guns blazing with facts that contradict the arrest report, or more likely, those facts don't exist, there is supporting physical evidence, and Beard potentially just resigns to avoid getting fired
  24. I think most of us that have dated someone BSC may want to give Beard the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. But yeah, broke up with mine in college. Dealing with that shit at 49? That's on you Beard.
